I just want to be able to double click on any image and have it open up in photoshop. I tried to reinstall the software and when it asked me where certain image files should open with, i selected all photoshop but it still did not work. Help PLease
kissmecat,
No, belay that reply. It must understand the image you are opening triggers Photoshop but it's not "completing the job" afterwards. Hmmmm...
Cheers!

Hi Kissmecat,
I, too, have encountered simliar problem before. Have you tried opening other image files. Something the name given to a file is important. If there is special characters given to the filename e.g. ???.jpg (when text is display in Chinese Character) , photoshop will not "see" it as an image file. Once you renamed it as western european ISO e.g. hello.jpg. Photoshop will "see" it as an image file and open.

Not sure this will work because I had to log into the forums as a guest. You could do the same and then enter the link, I suppose. But here is the topic:

NOTE: This isn't the exact same thing as you are experieincing but could be related. If I understand your problem, you got nothing but this person got a new document window.
Good luck!

It's possible your filetypes aren't set right. What kind of file is it?
